I’ve never hung a radiator on a wall before. I was very apprehensive about opening up my central heating system. Couldn’t have done it before watching this excellent video. Successfully installed new radiator, fitted new lock shield and TRV. Radiator is now toasty hot, unlike the old one that had cold spots all over. Thanks for giving me the confidence to take it on. Love the videos👍

Your videos are so good and clear to understand, I fitted a small radiator today at my traning course, and used this technique, the spirit level bubble sat in the middle and my radiator was straight like 9:15!

Got to say thanks as I’ve just hung my first rad and it went without a hitch thanks to u and all your videos. 600x1800 type 22 with a thermostatic trv and a drainvalve. Last part of job required a 13mm Allen key which I didn’t have til tomorrow that is, inhibitor and fill up job done. Here’s hoping for no leaks or it’s ekkkk Cheers for ur videos

When you drilling the holes for the brackets would it not make more sense to drill the holes where the brackets are adjustable before drilling the upper and lower holes to allow for any adjustments? Thanks for the video 🙏🏼

He made mistake, you don't level radiator, the end with exhaust vent need to be on the highest point, so that side of the radiator must be some milimeters higher to allow air to get out from the radiator.
